Urban Movement Labs Merges Into LACI, Expanding LACI's Capacity to Invite & Scale Zero Emissions Mobility Innovation in LA by Time World Arrives for 2028 Olympics
LOS ANGELES, May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator (LACI) is pleased to announce that Urban Movement Labs (UML) has merged into LACI. The merger will strengthen LACI's capacity to accelerate progress toward the bold transportation electrification targets set by the time the world arrives for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.

- The merger will strengthen LACI's capacity to accelerate progress toward the bold transportation electrification targets set by the time the world arrives for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
- As part of the merger, LACI will carry forward the Transportation Technology Innovation Zone (TTIZ) at the Warner Center in the San Fernando Valley.
- The TTIZ will also tie to the work of LACI's public-private Transportation Electrification Partnership.
- "The 'innovation sandbox' that LACI is creating with the TTIZ will provide an opportunity to pilot solutions and scale what works."
